Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

Hey folks I'm looking at getting a CB radio set in my Delica. Before I do so I was hoping for a few suggestions from the group. Any bad sets or any that would be ideal? I searched amazon and found about a million different sets so I figured I would ask here. Also how easy was it to do the install?...

I received this in my e-mail in box and I thought I would share. This guy from my HAM club was walking along the shoreline when he happened across something yellow in the rocks. Turns out to be a 1940's lifeboat wind-up distress radio, apparently water-proof. The question arises ~ how long has this...

What is the best way to route coax into my L400 from a mag-mount antenna on the roof? I do not want to drill holes my beautiful Deli, and it has to be a magnetic mount to hold the large quad band antenna I need to use.

Apparently it is illegal in Ontario to use a handheld microphone, like, for a CB radio or VHF mobile while driving. It falls under the same law that covers cellphones and other handheld devices, and, to me, seems absurd, given their prevalence in all manner of service vehicles, cops, fire,...

Are they still popular on the road? What are the advantages of installing one in the "expedition vehicle" for the big trip? Do they still use all that slang and hard to understand lingo or am I still living in the 70's?
Thanks

Anybody know what this is??

I found it under the the Front passenger seat tucked under the carpet.
For what it's worth, my van was briefly used as a bush ambulance. I have a feeling it has something to do with that.
I haven't taken the time to trace the wires yet but it looks like two of them go...

Has anyone worked two metre upper side band?
I've just gotten off the air and I've got to say it's pretty cool.
Playing with the variables of aerial propagation is intriguing.

Any suggestions ?

I'm thinking a couple of compact handhelds for keeping in contact with a buddy when you are 4Xing out of cell range , also is it feasible for emergency contact or is a separate system better for that?
Suggested range?
I'm thinking something economical that would probably only...

i guess i've been away from the Ham game way too long...
i found this on a local kelowna website.
apparently there's a ham radio setup at our museum.

special thanks to tardisdeli Jay and Christine for helping me get my rig "outta da box" and back into service. :-D

When I get my Deli, I plan to spend a good deal of time off on logging roads. I am interested in picking up a good channel scanner so I don't become part of the underside of a double-wide logging truck.

What should I look for? Doing a bit of googling I came across the Uniden BCT15x and the Uniden...

THREAD continued from hijacked "how many made the switch from vw's to delicas" topic.

I too have been considering APRS. I've been running with GPS and moving map (both in the GPS and on computer) for years, just don't have an HT handy for doing APRS. If you have some gear you want to get...
